How to condition match set tokens on input?

Hi,
I seem to be having a mental block which maybe someone can help with.

I have an input dropdown which runs a query to populate values in the dropdown, depending on the value selected I want to set two more token. The condition match should be on the first 6 characters of the selected value, so if aaaaaa* set two new tokens and if aaaaab* set a different two. All tokens are then used in panels on the dashboard and should refresh each time the value in the dropdown is changed.

sample xml below that will hopefully give the idea.

<input type="dropdown" token="iptoken" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>Apply Engine</label>
<fieldForLabel>value</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>value</fieldForValue>
<search>
<query>index=ti-u_* sourcetype=$iptoken$ value=aaaaa** | table value |dedup value |sort value</query>
<earliest>@y</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</search>
<<change>
<condition match="$iptoken$==&quot;aaaaaa*&quot;">
<set token="newtoken1">newvalue1</set>
<set token="newtoken2">newvalue2</set>
</condition>
<condition match="$iptoken$==&quot;aaaaab*&quot;">
<set token="newtoken1">newvalue1</set>
<set token="newtoken2">newvalue2</set>
</condition>
</change>
</input>

thanks in advance
